Is there any guidance on what was the original factory setting for this. The owners manual says its setup for 75kg but not how this translates into the position of the adjuster locknuts. Whether mine is still factory set is of course unknown. Even a 1cm reduction here would drop the whole bike by quite a lot if I remember my schoolboy geometry and i would not have thought this would have a huge effect on the pre-load?
Pulling the legs through the yokes to drop the front does not look so easy unless new handlebar risers are fitted. On my bike the plastic damper adjuster knobs on he top of the legs are only about 1cm clear of the bars as standard.
